iw station del broken?

[Marco Porsch <marco.porsch@siemens.com>]

Hi list,

is it just me or is 'iw dev <devname> station del <MAC address>' broken?

I am using it in mesh mode to build generic topologies out of a fully 
meshed net. I am using it first since Javiers latest patch "[PATCH v2] 
mac80211: Handle mesh action frames in ieee80211_rx_h_action" which 
fixed mesh mode successfully.

I didn't try it in anything other than mesh. Running latest OpenWrt with 
compat-wireless-2010-03-24 and kernel 2.6.32.10 including Javiers patch. 
Maybe a fix for nl80211 is missing?
